描述

Electron is a two-stage orbital expendable launch vehicle (with an optional third stage) developed by the American aerospace company Rocket Lab. Electron is a small-lift launch vehicle designed to launch small satellites and cubesats to sun-synchronous orbit and low earth orbit. The Electron is the first orbital class rocket to use electric-pump-fed engines, powered by the 9 Rutherford engines on the first stage. It is also used as a suborbital testbed (called HASTE) for hypersonics research.

电子号（Electron）是美国航天公司火箭实验室（Rocket Lab）研制的一款两级入轨一次性运载火箭（可选配第三级）。电子号是一款小型运载火箭，设计用于将小卫星和立方星送入太阳同步轨道及近地轨道。电子号是首款采用电泵供给式发动机的轨道级火箭，第一级由 9 台卢瑟福（Rutherford）发动机提供动力。它也被用作高超声速研究的亚轨道试验平台（称为 HASTE）。
